What little things gripe you? Pet peeves? Come have a rant! :)

[Kate&Lucas]

It actually really bothers me when people complain about other people's spelling/grammar mistakes.

My family struggles with dyslexia problems and sometimes I can't tell on the spell checker what's correct and it don't always show up if you have used the wrong grammar.

It makes me feel like people are looking down on those of us with spelling and grammar problems and I should be able to write on the forum without worrying about someone getting pissed off because I got my i and e round the wrong way or I've used the wrong there their etc..

God I hate this! And when people correct it with a little * it's like "Grrr get a life!!"
I'd like to think my spelling/grammar is spot on most of the time, but I don't feel the need to point it out to others and make them feel silly. It's the internet not a bloody essay.

Spelling mistakes in books irk me so much though. I've genuinely considered writing to a few authors offering to proofread I was really looking forward to buying this one book once and when I got it, it was full of errors and I was so bothered buy it I never finished it

Feff you should give them funny looks back I do I found that once they noticed my engagement ring they stopped looking! I've known a few girls wear a ring just for this purpose even when they're not with someone.

I hate hearing people chew or breathe.. Or sniff their snot!!
Hate how df leaves his towel on the floor or my side of the bed then when I leave it there for him to pick up when he gets in because I'm not his mother he replies 'it's the spiders towel now' (we have one spider that finds his wet towels then runs off when I try catch it lol!!
Hate how you have an appointment at the doctors and have to wait over a hour grrrr.
Like feff said, I hate how people stare at me for being a young mum. I think I only look 18 when I put a full face of make up on
Hate people saying my parent choices are wrong! Not your child not your problem!

 

[morri]

People who declare they don't like something without trying it.

People who don't like "fish", there is such a wide range of tastes and textures you can't generalise it anything that lives in water.


I enjoyed this

Yes you can totally. all fish meat has a similar texture and flimsy excuses for bones.... The only fish I'll eat begrudgingly is haddock... but i am still not into fish and i am allergic to shrimps and stuff.

petty talk about other peoples garden looks etc.
My mom is pretty bad at that. Like oh look what a shabby garden,... they havent cut their grass for ages. She is a little posh and judgmental when it comes to tidiness and looks.

Also gossip magazines. Just one glance to the magazine titles, no matter whether it is those glossy celebs gossip magazines or just grannies' royals of europe gossip papers.
They are all awful. Seriously all the fake heartbrake/divorce/adultery/pregnancy/marriage plans stories.. you cant be seriously happy if it is your job to make them all up...

and people disregarding you if you o things different to them or to their opinion how it should be handled done..

Endless Drama series and soaps.

There is a saying which says that there will be more events happening in a soap than in a year in a small town.
also I liked some series like Grey's anatomy, I started at season 2 and watched some of 3 and few of 4 and then I just thought, seriously people is this a hospital or is this a swingers club? I like short series in the UK like blackadder or coupling which have a few episodes in only a few seasons.

People who spend ages squeezing each loaf of bread in a supermarket to get the perfect loaf and then leave squashed bread for everyone else. Just freaking pick one!

ill be honest.. i do this it has to be soft, or the most in date

i hate when my OH uses the last of the loo roll then leaves the card board bit we dont have a holder things cos one wont go on our wall its not big enough, so it gets left on the back of the loo, on the window sill, or worst of all.. on the floor!!
if he does throw it away theres always enough on for me to use about 4 times.. but he still throws it

- i hate when people eat with their mouth open, i don't need to see nor hear it
- when kids scream
- when kids have other kids screaming, worse when adults have kids screaming
- people coughing all over..
- snooking (when you kinda snook the snot from your nose to your mouth) i dont know whats worse, doing it and swallowing or doing it then spitting.. erghh!!
- men itching their belows in public.. just NO!!
- im not racist but when my co workers speak asian ALL the time, esp when they use the work phone for family calls in pakistan taking a hour a time.. i have a call waiting!!
- when you ask people if they are ok and they smile (like walking past 'hi you alright')
- when you see someone walking or sitting in front of you and their label is hanging out of the top of their top
- scruffy toothpaste tops!! erghh, clean after use please
- people telling you you shouldnt do something a certain way because they didnt do it that way.

theres probably more, yes i am as grumpy as i sound, my mum calls me a dragon hehe x

 

[BabyMamma93]

Im not being racist/rude/sexist but...

Saying that sentence does NOT excuse what you are going to say and it does NOT stop you being racist/rude/sexist... grrr!!

oopps ive just done this but im really not, i just dont like people speaking a diff language in a work place.. they could at least say something polite to me first like one person once did!

 

[BabyMamma93]

oh to add!!! likle said before, people who moan about people using wrong words or not using these.. ' its the internet, are you really going to grade me on my post?
also as said before, the tea coffe sugar thing.. atm i dont have them as my steriliser is taking up the space but it is so annoying when people do it. my dad is left handed to he does, tea sugar coffee, as he only has tea with sugar so cos he uses his left hand, the tea has to be on the left with sugar!!
when people cross me on the stairs at home or parents... omg i almost push them down i hate it!!

 

[lindseymw]

Delivery companies that give you a time of delivery as 9am-9pm.....yes cheers for that because obviously I have nothing better to do than sit in the house for 12 hours (then of course for that 10 mins you spent at the shop is when they come)

 

[Abigailly]

People who go to another country, don't bother to learn the language and then complain at the shop keepers audacity to not know any English.

Second hands on clocks. I can't stand them. Especially noisy ones.

People who think their music choices are the only way.

 

[sue_88]

People making empty threats....."I'm leaving facebook / I'm leaving BnB" ..... 3 hours later "I'm back!" Seriously, either piss off or shut up because you now look like a twat.

Smoking. Just no, disgusting and smelly. And DO NOT go near my baby. I've been known to tell people who we're cooing over my daughters pram to step back because their clothes smell like a dirty old ashtray.

Smelly people....just WASH! No excuse.

People forcing me to move to the road side of the pavement.....no I am walking on the inside for a reason, because I have a baby. You, single, alone male can walk by the road! Ignorant.

Being on hold.

Having no petrol...I hate getting petrol.

Hate empty threats. Like when idiots threaten to beat someone up coz they looked at them or whatever but never do anything/have never been in a fight. Like shut up

* The toilet roll needs to go over the top and down. I'm obsessive about this and change it on every bathroom I go to. Including all the stalls in a restaurant a few month ago...

* People walking slow in front of me. Especially when I have the buggy. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

* Smoking. Especially around children

* People with no manners. Yes. I held the door open. YOU'RE WELCOME.

* Folk who don't answer their phones when they have literally just hung up on you.

* Wasps. Evil little *******s.

 

[emyandpotato]

Oh I have a new one: This is SO irrational I know and I don't mean to offend anyone and I'm well aware it's stupid but I cannot stand when people go on about karma if they're not Hindu/Sikh/Buddhist in any way shape or form. It seriously makes me angry for like an hour.

Those rich kid Instagram accounts. I get that people have money but it's a bit offensive IMO to literally show off how you have millions to throw away. I also don't get why celebrities feel the need to show off their money? Does it make people like them more?

When adults/the paparazzi make fun of celebrities who are basically children. Like really? Do you really need to scrutinise the life of a sixteen year old? Like the whole Kendal (Kylie? IDK?) Jenner Instagram 'scandal'.. I saw it on Buzzfeed, written about by and commented on by adults... Get a life guys!

 

[Tui]

Haha girls, you just cheered me up reading these, thanks.

I'm sure there are lots but what springs to mind most is people who sniff, CONSTANTLY. Why is it so hard to find a tissue!

 

[Equreuil]

Lately it's been all the buzzfeed (and others) type list articles and personality quizzes on facebook. The headlines are all ridiculously over-hyped "So amazing that it made marine corps drill sergeant manly man break down and cry!" (as an example) and it turns out to be something simple like a kid singing the national anthem, and when someone posts a quiz it doesn't even show what their result is.

People who treat my kid like a zoo exhibit. I frequently have him with me behind a motel check-in desk while I work. People constantly lean over it as much as possible and stare/baby talk/make weird faces. He doesn't like it, either.

People who are casual about debts, especially personal ones (as opposed to credit cards or bank loans). Is it really that hard to be a responsible adult and pay back what you owe?

 

[~RedLily~]

Something that really annoys me is when someone puts a status on facebook saying how upset they are and when people ask they say they don't want to talk about it or they'll PM them.

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

Bad drivers!

 

[Logan's Mum]

- "Am I pregnant?" threads, dont list your graphic symptoms, just test!!

- Selfies

- People who smoke around children.

- People who boast about the amount they have drunk/their hangover like its a big deal/how cool are they. No, you are not cool, you are unhealthy and poisoning yourself. Have fun ruining your liver and gaining weight!

- Noisy eaters, and people who lick their fingers when eating. Bork.

Ha ha this very thought occurred to me just yesterday as it happens. My thought process went something like this:

A guy I used to go out with who cheated on me just put on Facebook that his fiancée had cheated on him and my first thought was - that's karma....Then I felt guilty for being happy about his misfortune/comeuppance.....Then I thought of all the naughty things I've done over the years and wondered if karma would get me for it....then I remembered I'm a Christian so I don't believe in karma


I'm a loaf of bread squeezer too

 

[Wriggley]

- People who boast about the amount they have drunk/their hangover like its a big deal/how cool are they. No, you are not cool, you are unhealthy and poisoning yourself. Have fun ruining your liver and gaining weight!

THIS! my sil text me last night saying she was off to the pub . . . 2 hours later she sent me a drunk text about how pissed she is. Ergh! !!!

Now you look like an idiot

And then come into work and act like their head is about to implode and do a shit job all day long.

Either don't get pissed on a work night, don't come into work, or shut the hell up and get on your your work because no one cares!
